"Ephemera" - Mixed Media from
Kay Worthington
|
|
|
My day job as a graphic artist often requires me to rethink the ordinary and visually explain sometimes very complex information in a concise way that is quickly understood. My work as an artist is influenced by this focus (and vice-versa) and so the data of my life as a woman form this bricolage."

Kay's work incorporates found objects, labels, reference materials and dates that are contained together, providing an unimaginable visual feast while reminding the viewer about life's journeys and the memories shaped by those journeys. Kay is a graphic artist, works for the Statesman Journal, and resides in Salem. |
"I
read somewhere that there is an obvious link between what you collect and how
you keep it and store it. These pieces are small containers for banal objects
that fascinate me. My goal was to present oddly juxtaposed ephemera
quasi-scientifically with labels, reference material and dates. If a cultural
anthropologist discovered my studio under a pile of rubble, this is what she'd
find. And if she catalogued her finds and tried to divine the culture of the
owner of the objects, this is how she might present it. With mock seriousness,
these pieces describe the transitory nature of life and how memories are shaped.
